Unfortunately, I didn't feel that way at all until I watched the whole movie.
Everyone in it has barriers to their own age, male and female protagonists, old professors, male students who have been admitted to the hospital twice... Some people want to mature, some are struggling not to grow up, and some are completely confused about how they should be.
In fact, I can't see any sparks between the hero and heroine, just like I can't see how the hero and the bookstore owner sparkle later - everything seems to be completely irrelevant, not even Anything related to sex is more like an ordinary process of "seeing it is suitable, just dating and seeing it".
It is not only far-fetched, but completely unbearable to make this relationship bear the purpose of "recognition or escape of one's own age".
How to be mature? Courage is required.
But almost none of the people inside had enough courage.
The male protagonist has been in the adult world for many years, but persistently refuses to grow up and always wants to escape back to the campus; the old professor he likes escaped and grew up on campus all his life, until he was forced to retire before realizing that he had nowhere to go; the female protagonist inexplicably I like the male protagonist, but I attribute the reason I like it to wanting to rely on him to mature quickly; the talented boy hides in a tome and struggles with psychological obstacles; even the coolest-looking one teaches poetry with passion The female professor who scolded the poet's reality and her own reality to the bone, also endured boring and rigid faculty meetings day after day, watching reality quench her hopes and passions little by little, instead of not being able to. Really "punch them in the face".
Getting old is inevitable. But getting old isn't cool in itself. It's the coolest thing to keep your courage and keep fighting for your dreams while getting old. Finding someone who is just "age-appropriate" is just a compromise with reality. The female professor scolded the male protagonist, "I've seen too many old fritters like you who don't have much energy and just hide in literature and feel sorry for themselves." In fact, why isn't she scolding herself for being unwilling to life? People miss the youth that can never be returned, but unexpectedly the vitality of youth has left prematurely. It is the saddest thing that a person begins to age before he grows up.
If you have enough courage, whether you choose someone with a big age gap or a similar age, it is out of true love and can bear the consequences, not compromise. Compromise is just a euphemism for when you are reluctant but don't have the courage or strength to face the consequences.
